Create a Bar chart using SQL macro
Scenario
Estimated Time: 11 min
As an example, let's create a 3-D bar chart to display the top publishers by revenue (in $M).
Background
Our scenario uses a data source profile, BookWarehouse, to query a database table, PUBLISHERS. The table contains the following columns and rows:
SQL > select * from publishers;
+----+------+-------------------+-----------------+---------+
| id | rank | parent_company | company_name | revenue |
+----+------+-------------------+-----------------+---------+
| 10 | 1 | Pearson | Pearson | 5000.00 |
| 11 | 2 | Reed | RELXGroup | 4900.00 |
| 12 | 3 | WoodbridgeCompany | ThompsonReuters | 4700.00 |
| 13 | 4 | BertelsmannAG-NV | Bertelsmann | 4500.00 |
| 14 | 5 | WoltersKluwer | WoltersKluwer | 4100.00 |

Our query against the PUBLISHERS table looks like:
SELECT company_name as "Publisher", CONCAT('$',format(revenue,0)) as "M Rev" FROM publishers ORDER BY rank asc;Steps
